    I asked @Patrick Clement this question over the weekend. There is an orientation to be aware of before the classes begin. Don't have exact dates though. Also work freelance so I'm trying to not take any jobs that go past August 20th....hopefully I'm leaving enough of a window for the CU...

    Same. My bldg typically only allows dogs under 25 lbs, but our dog doesn't bark and is super well behaved. At our realtors suggestion, we actually brought her with us on all our apartment visits. That was a big help bc we were able to convince apt owners and landlords to make an exception for...

    Awesome! I accepted my offer last night. See you all in the Fall! If anyone has any NYC-living related questions, feel free to get in touch. @Tony Yang - how big is your pup? I find that a lot of city apartment landlords prefer small dogs. I, too, was super nervous about finding a...

    @Patrick Clement - I have an embarrassingly basic question, but do CU School of the Arts grad students get access to the Columbia gym as part of their tution / university facility fees? Because if the film program is based out of Dodge Hall...and Dodge Fitness Center is under that building (I...

    This page gives a lot of details about the Grad Plus Loans: Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans Also, you may want to give the CU Financial Aid office a call this week and see what direction they can give waitlisted students about preparing for the Financial Cost of CU, in the event you don't...

    I would continue to chat with as many current students and take Patrick’s comment to heart. This advice everyone is giving about the time commitment is golden and has been repeated for years to countless students, including myself! I don’t profess to know your full situation, but this...

    There are some really awesome gems to be found uptown in Washington Heights, Hamilton Heights, Inwood, and of course Harlem (though those are quickly disappearing it feels like each year!). NYC brokers can suck so hard, but if anyone wants to go that route, I can not recommend Bohemia Realty...

    they give us guest username and password to access to the arc site. It's in the PDF included with all the admissions paperwork. I think it's like a 4-5 page document called getting started! I've already started combing for things to apply to :) DM me if you have a hard time finding it!
